Q.1. The press shown for Figure.1 has a rated load
of 22 kN. The twin screws have double start Acme
threads, a diameter of 50 mm, and a pitch of 6 mm.
Coefficients of friction are 0.05 for the threads and
0.08 for the collar bearings. Collar diameters are 90
mm. The gears have an efficiency of 95 percent and a
speed ratio of 60:1. A slip clutch, on the motor shaft,
prevents overloading. The full-load motor speed is
1720 rev/min.
(a) When the motor is turned on, how fast will the
press head move? (Vm= , Vser. =

Use the minimum amount of math necessary to supportyour explanations.(b) [20pts] Derive the weak form of the BVP.(c) [10pts] Assuming a mesh of two equal elements and linear shape functions, sketch byhand how you expect the FEM solution to look like. Also sketch the analytical solutionfor comparison. In your sketch, identify the nodal degrees of freedom that the FEMsolution seeks to find.(d) [10pts] By analogy with the elastic rod problem and heat conduction problem considered in class, write down the stiffness matrix and force vector for each of the twoelements considered in (c).(e) [10pts] Assemble the global system of equations, and verbally explain how to solve it.
